So one follow up question:
I already have a few machines that have PySide2 installed (I did this
before the wheel in question disappeared on me).
Is there a sane way to rip an existing install from one machine to put
it on another?

As do I, and as do many others. Python 2.7.x is not simply going to
disappear with a *POOF* on 1 January. I personally never get any
reports from customers regarding bugs in Python 2.7.x; I update to the
latest patch release simply out of reflex and courtesy.
Since the Python team is planning the last patch release (2.7.18) /on/
1 January, this version will be around for some time to come, at least
a year from now, if not more. Yes, we should be herding our customers
into the Python 3 corral, however, due to the massive number of assets
customers have that represents thousands of man-hours of work, there
is a need to support Python v2.7.x through the remainder of its life,
and start conditioning those customers to the finality of it in the
(somewhat near) future.
Now, as for PySide2, somebody may have already pointed this out, but
they are not supporting Windows/Python 2.7.x because that version of
Python is being built (the interpreter build distributed by
Python.org, that is) using Visual Studio 2008. This is incompatible
with Qt v5.12.x. However, Python 2.7.x can be built using VS2017--I
do it myself with each patch update I provided to my customers--which
means, if you /really/ want to use PySide2 with Python 2.7.x under
Windows, you can go to the effort of building all of them yourself
with the same toolchain, and it will work. It's just that the
Python.org team won't update from Visual Studio 2008 so close to EOL,
and the Qt Company won't (and probably can't in the first place) patch
Qt 5.12.x to work with Visual Studio 2008. The two will never meet.
